Friends with Benefits
2011
This raucous rom-com chronicles the relationship of two busy singles, Dylan (Justin Timberlake) and Jamie (Mila Kunis), who agree to include sex in their friendship -- minus the emotions and commitment. But things get complicated when Dylan (inevitably?) falls for his gal pal. Patricia Clarkson co-stars as Jaime's hip mom and Woody Harrelson plays Dylan's practical confidante, who advises him to man up when he pursues the newly dating Jamie.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
An enjoyable movie with lots of humorous moments. The dialogue was natural and the protagonists did a fantastic job. The sappy parts where predictable and boring, but it's easy to forget about those parts. Shaun White was also enjoyable.
Kunis and Timberlake both have great humor that makes the beginning a riot. The middle/end stumble, trying to shoehorn plot and romantic elements but recover slightly by mocking normal romcoms. Still far better than Love and Other Drugs or No Strings Attached
